lyrics

PROMISES, PROMISES
I CAN SEE THAT FAR AWAY LOOK IN YOUR EYES
BUT THE ROAD THAT’S PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS
IS WHERE PROMISES GO TO DIE

SHE WAS A YOUNG GIRL, DIDN’T KNOW THE WIDE WORLD
HER HEART WAS SO EASILY SWAYED
SHE DOVE RIGHT IN TO THE DEEP END
YOUR LOVIN’ ARMS CARRIED HER AWAY

PROMISES, PROMISES
I CAN SEE THAT FAR AWAY LOOK IN YOUR EYES
BUT THE ROAD THAT’S PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS
IS WHERE PROMISES GO TO DIE

YOU SAID FOREVER, YOU SAID ALWAYS
YOU SAID ALL THE THINGS SHE’D WANT TO HEAR
BUT THAT WAS JUST TALKIN’, HEARTS WERE BROKEN
YOUR LOVIN’ LINES WERE INSINCERE

PROMISES, PROMISES
I CAN SEE THAT FAR AWAY LOOK IN YOUR EYES
BUT THE ROAD THAT’S PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS
IS WHERE PROMISES GO TO DIE

NOW SHE SITS ALONE BY THE BANKS OF THE RIVER
TRYING TO WAKE UP FROM THIS BAD DREAM
NOW THERE’S A SCAR WHERE THERE ONCE SUCH HOPE
THEIR LOVE LETTERS WASHIN’ DOWN THE STREAM

PROMISES, PROMISES
I CAN SEE THAT FAR AWAY LOOK IN YOUR EYES
BUT THE ROAD THAT’S PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS
IS WHERE PROMISES GO TO DIE
